Dr. Johnston is tremendously caring, kind and attentive to all concerns. I always feel I have her full attention and regard for any questions. I always recommend her 100% to anyone who asks, and feel privileged to have her as my PCP.

Katherine is professional and caring. I trust her completely. Not only am I lucky to have her, Mass General is as well.

I hope she Never leaves Mass General!!! She is the best, Caring and Professional Individual I have met.
